[1st-mile-nm] IPv6 Fact Sheet (fwd)

[Richard Lowenberg]

ICANN has released a factsheet covering Internet Protocol 6, or IPv6.
The factsheet is intended to provide an explanation of the protocol
upgrade for a non-technical audience in the hope of enlarging public
understanding surrounding this and related issues.

The factsheet briefly reviews the technology behind IPv6, explains why it
is needed, why uptake has been slow, and outlines why a move to the
protocol should be considered soon by many organisations and governments.
